To the Honorable the Legislature:
This Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of the Wisconsin Department of Employe Trust Funds (ETF) provides the audited financial data and highlights of the 1993 program year. This is the second comprehensive report we have produced in the past four months, as we continue to make progress in our goal of having our reports published within six months of audit completion.
ETF manages retirement and benefit programs for a wide variety of state, municipal, school district and other local employers. The Introduction to this year's report places emphasis on a subject very important to all citizens of Wisconsin and the nation -- good health, health insurance and health care cost containment.
ETF administers the Wisconsin Public Employes Group Health Insurance Program covering 59,500 active state employes, 15,300 state retirees, 5,800 active local government employes and about 500 retirees from local governments. When the spouses and dependents of the covered individuals are included, ETF's health insurance program serves more than 200,000 persons. Wisconsin began a trend-setting program in managed health care in 1983 to provide quality health care while controlling the health insurance premium costs to the taxpayer and the public employe. This year's report recognizes that program's ten years of success.
Graphic displays in the Introductory Section will give you a thumbnail sketch of ETF's full program data. Other sections provide basic statistical information over a 10-year reporting period and the requisite actuarial report. For the state's "Annual Report" requirements, we provide information on ETF's accomplishments and legislation passed affecting our programs. This material continues from the last Annual Report of the agency, and provides an ongoing record of program and financial data.
Your comments would be appreciated and can be directed to me at (608) 266-1071 or to Sandy Drew, our Director of Legislation and Planning at (608) 267-2929.
Sincerely,
Eric O. Stanchfield
Secretary
